HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email migration consultant, looks at legacy email archiving migrations in a new article on the Messaging Architects website.

The informative article first explores options available to organizations, including migrating to a new a new system in the cloud and consolidating data to XML. The author then lists four challenges to successful legacy archive migrations starting with enormous amounts of data. He concludes with several recommended steps to success.

"As many legacy email archiving systems reach end of life, companies must navigate a legacy archive migration or risk losing critical information," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Finding the Path to Pain-free Legacy Archive Migrations."

Explore the Options

"Organizations with legacy archive systems must make a choice. These solutions no longer provide necessary functionality. At the same time, regulatory compliance demands email retention, leaving companies with limited options for addressing data in legacy systems."

"One option involves migrating the entire email archive to a new system. This option helps to ensure regulatory compliance, and the opportunity for virtually unlimited cloud storage makes it possible. However, moving the entire archive to the current system may not prove feasible."

Challenges to Successful Legacy Archive Migrations

• "Enormous amounts of data – Even a small business with just ten years of archived data can hold millions of emails in its archive. The organization must determine how much of the data to keep and where to store it."
• "Message stubbing – Most legacy solutions moved emails to the archive, leaving behind a pointer, or stub, as a link to the archive database. All too often, the migration process breaks that link."
